Description
DURA-PA™ 3/8/12 – High-Tenacity Polyamide Rope
DURA-PA™ is made from high-tenacity polyamide fibre. Polyamide stretches more than other rope fibres, so the rope absorbs shock loads very well and is widely used for ship towing. WHR supplies this polyamide mooring rope in Dubai and across the UAE.
It comes as 3-strand twisted, 8-strand plaited or 12-strand braided rope. All three are easy to splice and have very good resistance to abrasion, chemicals and UV light.
